Joyful Souvenirs

As a hopeless romantic and lover of art, I love to capture those in front of my lens creatively and timelessly. Let's document your story beautifully and artistically, as it is.

Are you longing to HAVE your story CAPTURED artistically, yet in a way that still feels authentic to who you are? As your photographer, I strive to make the entire photo process as seamless and stress free as possible, from your initial inquiry to final gallery delivery.

For

The Photographer you've

Been

A wedding & senior photographer by day, and an avid Criminal Minds and diet coke lover by night.  I've had a camera in hand as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until I joined my high school's yearbook staff that what began as a hobby turned into my passion.

I fell in love with capturing real, authentic moments through my camera lens- I want to help document your story as it is. Let's capture memories you'll show your grandkids one day.

Meet  Your Photographer

Kari

Welcome friend,

My Name Is

"I had recently graduated college and really wanted good pictures to document it - my first thought was Kari. It was freezing cold outside in the middle of January and I had no idea what I was doing for poses but Kari was so kind and encouraging and helpful the entire time! She made the experience so comfortable and things never felt awkward; it honestly felt like I was just hanging out with a bestie. The pictures turned out amazing and I'm still obsessed with them to this day. I literally recommend Kari to everyone that I know and especially if they're looking for a photographer. I will 100%, without a doubt, reach out again in the future!" 

xoxo, Alyssa

"It's been a while since I worked with Kari but I've never forgotten the experience that I had with her"

"I hate taking pictures. When someone points a camera at me, I remember every single mean that I’ve heard about me and tears well up in my eyes. Working with Kari was an extremely safe experience. She never once let me have enough time to form a negative doubt in my head with her genuine excitement and praise. It felt so good to work with someone who is truly passionate about their art and clients. I had my photos taken in twenty degree weather, and we were both freezing, but the lengths that Kari went to produce photos were hilarious. We definitely trespassed while taking photos by someone’s metal staircase for an “industrial” look, and they turned out pretty cool. The way that she is able to turn any background into a beautiful moment shows how talented she is. Overall, I loved how beautiful and confident Kari made me feel during the shoot and in the final photos."

"Working with Kari was an extremely safe experience."

"I met Kari when she was shooting my best friend's wedding. She was so amazing to work with and I was so impressed by her work that I inquired about my own wedding. To say that I was blown away is an understatement. From discussing venues for our engagement shoot to working out the wedding day schedule to actually shooting on my wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect! Kari not only does amazing work but she has a quick turn around time, sh is so friendly, and makes you feel like she has known you for your whole life! During pictures, Kari will be your #1 hype woman and will make you feel so comfortable! I literally cannot recommend Kari and her photography services enough. Whether you need a wedding photographer or literally anything else, Kari is your girl!"

"Kari's love for photography and her creative heart is shown in every gallery she completes. Kari’s energy and bright spirit makes for genuine laughs and smiles in photos and never any awkward energy. I’ve loved all my pictures Kari has ever taken of me and I can’t wait for her to hopefully one day, shoot my wedding."

xoxo, Hannah

“My experience with Kari was so much fun! She was so full of energy and personable the whole session and it was such an exciting experience! She sent all my photos to me within the deadline and I’m obsessed with how they all turned! i’m so grateful i got the opportunity to take my senior pictures with her!!”

xoxo, Isabella

"i’m so grateful i got the opportunity to take my senior pictures with her!!"

"We are so happy we chose Kari to take our newborn photos. We were hoping for more natural photos that captured our true interactions with our son and she delivered! She was so quick to respond to any questions we had and made us feel so comfortable during our session. We had sneak peeks back within hours and we are thrilled with how our photos turned out! We will definitely book with Kari again!"

xoxo, Katie

"we are thrilled with how our photos turned out! We will definitely book with Kari again!"
